AlterPathTM KVM/netPlus Enterprise KVM over IP Solutions The AlterPath™ KVM/netPlus family of enterprise-class KVM over IP switches is designed for local and remote server administration with centralized management and advanced security features. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus is the industry's first KVM solution to offer Cyclades AdaptiveK VMTM technology (patent pending) that combines Microsoft® Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) functionality with KVM over IP access in a single device. The Adaptive K VM feature allows users to manage most administrative tasks using the efficient RDP protocol, delivering seamless performance, even over low-bandwidth connections. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus can easily switch from RDP sessions to KVM over IP sessions when Windows-based servers are down or become disconnected from the IT production network. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus provides a cost-effective and simplified management solution over low-bandwidth connections. Fully integrated security features include serverbased authentication and support for RADIUS, TACACS+, LDAP, Kerberos, NTLM, NIS and Active Directory. In addition, the AlterPath KVM/netPlus supports user access control lists (ACLs) per port and user access logging. This allows IT managers and administrators to manage their servers with greater control and peace of mind. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus can also be combined with the AlterPath Manager, Cyclades out-of-band infrastructure (OOBI) manager, to provide users with a consolidated view of all KVM ports, centralized security and data logging. This reduces network maintenance costs and provides easier and faster provisioning of the OOBI. Available in 6 models, providing 1, 2 or 4 digital channel access to 16 or 32 servers in 1U of rack space, the AlterPath KVM/netPlus helps streamline remote access to servers throughout the IT infrastructure and includes the scalability and security features to accomplish this objective. The AlterPath KVM/netPlus reduces operational costs and risks while increasing IT personnel efficiency and productivity.
